When I saw this Whipping Cream Pound Cake recipe at Fion's blog, I immediately bookmarked it. I had an opened pack of whipping cream, about a quarter left after making our family's favourite Homemade Matcha Ice-Cream. As whipping cream has to be used up within 3 days after opening, this recipe comes in really handy. I baked a blueberry pound cake using the left over whipping cream and really love the smooth and moist texture of the cake! After uploading this post, I will be off to the airport with my family for our vacation in Down Under, will be back blogging again in two weeks time! 当我在Fion的部落格看到这鲜奶油磅蛋糕的食谱时，就马上记下来了。因为冰箱里还有剩下四份之一的动物鲜奶油等着我来消费。我用这食谱烤了蓝莓磅蛋糕，质感好滑顺，蛮喜欢的！上载这帖子后，我将与家人赶去机场搭飞机，开始我的度假旅程，两星期后再回来。

Glad to conduct my 5th guest blogger workshop last Saturday where the participants get a hands-on baking Baking Taitai's creation of a delicious, soft and fluffy Matcha chiffon swiss roll with cookies and cream fillings. After which it was transformed into a Christmas snowy log cake. I am really happy to know that the participants have enjoyed the class by reading the feedbacks given below. :)

Last Saturday, I baked this French Almond cake as a present for a good friend son's birthday. I have chosen this non-cream cake knowing that her 5 year-old does not fancy cakes with cream. I started with the intention to bake one 8 inch cake which this recipe calls for. It turned out to be quite a short cake as it didn't rise much during baking. Looking at the nicely baked but flat cake, I deem it not presentable to give away as gift. I quickly measured out the ingredients from the same recipe and baked it in a 6 inch round pan. The second bake gave a better height and together with the first bake, I turned it into a 2 tier cake which I am rather pleased with. 上星期六，烤了这法国杏仁蛋糕给好朋友的5岁小儿子作为生日礼物。这小朋友不喜欢有奶油的蛋糕，所以我选择做了这款香香又弥漫着浓浓杏仁味的蛋糕送给他。原本打算照着食谱做一个8寸的蛋糕，但烤出来的蛋糕蛮矮的，觉得不体面。我赶快用同样的食谱再烘了另一个蛋糕。第二次用的是6寸圆形烤模，烤出来的高度刚刚好。我把两个蛋糕叠起来后，还真满意呢！

Yesterday was the last day of school term for my little boy. When he came home, he was kind of sad as he would not be going back to the holding school where the Primary 1 and 2 students are attending this year due to the school construction of an indoor sports hall and classroom blocks at the main school campus. I know he would miss the Chess corner most as that's where he and his good friends would play chess (moving giant Chess pieces which are slightly shorter than the children but light weight) every morning before lessons starts.

Few weeks ago, when I attended my Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) lunch gathering, my group leader Sharon brought a batch of brownies baked by her 12 year-old daughter. After I tried it, I fell in love with this plain old brownie and requested for the recipe. Sharon is kind to share this recipe which her daughter has gotten when she was in kindergarten. It is her girl's favourite brownie recipe and she often bakes it for occasions and give away as gifts.

When Amy of CHOCOLATE-CHIP-SISTERS.COM approached me few days ago to try out their range of premium chocolates in my bakes, I was more than happy to do so. Being a dark chocolate lover, I must have my daily dose of dark chocolate as it keeps me happy and healthy. Besides that, the Malagos Chocolates which I have received are 100% pure and natural, NO gluten, Non-GMO, No preservatives or artificial colouring, No dairy and No nuts. It is also of single-origin made from ethically grown and processed beans that have been carefully graded (according to international standards), fermented and solar-dried. That gives it a distinct flavour as is expected of chocolates that come from a single kind which makes any bake or drink stands out.

Some in full concentration, some stopped for a pose. :)
